Cherry tomatoes in balsamic vinaigrette

With the summer rolling on and on and cherry tomatoes still so plentiful in the garden, I thought I’d share one of my favourites. My take on this is classic. It makes enough for the photo.

Ingredients

• 500 g cherry tomatoes
• ½ onion (thinly sliced)
• Handful basil leaves (larger ones torn)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 cloves of garlic (chopped)

Method

1. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half
2. Scatter onion slices and basil leaves on top
3. Put olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in a shaker and shake to make the balsamic vinaigrette
4. Pour vinaigrette over tomatoes and stir until everything is well coated
